a loneliness story
by Kirpianuscus2021-09-26

"I love Jacques Brel , and I appreciated this work in the film of Michel Carné. A film proposing the spirit of French Mai 1968. And a vulnerable hero front to a heavy , in its perverted mechanisms , justice system. A honest film, beautiful performances, fair portraits of idealism, expected, in some measure , film. Admirable image of the single father and his not easy relation with his son, beautiful small stories as parts of the large embroidery and the touch of the tension in smart way. For many reasons, a refuge for contemporary public...."

💡 Did You Know?

For those who are somewhat mystified by the concept of the "investigating magistrates" in the French legal system, I strongly recommend the hit French television series Engrenages (Spiral), now in its 8th season. In this series, Philippe Duclos brilliantly inhabits the role of Françoise Roban, the deeply flawed but apparently most incorruptible investigating magistrate in the entire justice apparatus.
